When I awoke next, it was to the sound of the door opening and then closing gently. I opened my eyes and looked up to see Jack coming toward the bed. I smiled and made my eyes focus in on him. He smiled back down at me and helped me sit up. He sat on the edge of my bed and kissed me so gently it was surprising for him.

" 'ow ye feelin'?" He asked resting his hand on my stomach carefully. I smiled and adjusted myself so I sat beside him with his arms about me.

"I can't tell Jack." He frowned down at me. A knock called our attention back to the door.

"C'mon in. It be open!" Jack called out. I watched the door open and then seen a smiling Will step through the door.

"Cap'n." He nodded toward Jack and then looked at me nodding at me. "My lady." I smiled and nodded back. Then I saw Elizabeth and Anamaria step through the door, right after Will. Elizabeth smiled and came over to me.

"Are you ready to go. We're in Port Royal now." I smiled and shook my head yes. Then with a burst of speed Anamaria and Elizabeth kicked Will and Jack out of the Cabin. I smiled and watched the two men leave. Jack mumbling the whole way out.

"So how bout you girls helping me get dressed?" I asked and Anamaria smiled as she helped me up and Liz picked out something for me to wear. Once I was dressed and ready to go I kissed Jack one last time. He grabbed Will sharply and told him that he had better keep me safe. I smiled and so did Will but he took the warning seriously. We entered the small rowboat and headed toward Port Royal.

We finally go there and Will helped Elizabeth and I out of the boat. He took Elizabeth's hand and I walked on the other side of Will. Will lead the way to the doctors office, but he didn't enter with us. Elizabeth and I entered alone and asked to see the doctor. In no time we were back in a room and the doctor came right in.

"Well good morning Ladies." She smiled and I looked her over. She was pretty. Long dark hair pulled back, green eyes. As a matter of fact I think they were a sea green. She was slim and very tall. She seemed so gently.

"Good morning doctor." Elizabeth and I greeted. She looked at both of us and then laughed.

"Which one of you is Jasmine." I smiled and waved. She smiled back and motioned for me to sit on the bed. I did and she stepped toward me with her stethoscope. "What seems to be the problem?"She asked, I blushed.

"I'm three almost four months pregnant and I have horrible pains in my stomach and down my back. It isn't the regular pain though. I was hit in the stomach quite a few times and I was wondering if anything happened to the baby?" She looked concerned and then stepped forward placing the stethoscope to my stomach listening for a minute or so. She raised back up then looked me in the eye.

"Would you please lay on your back?" She asked. I winced as I moved into the position she wants me to. She didn't look too happy with the results she was getting. "Tell me if this hurts." She began to press on my stomach in certain areas. They were mainly yes'. She frowned and helped me sit up.

"Well?" I asked not really wanting to know the results." She frowned and looked at the floor for a minute.

"You were right. The blows were hard enough to kill the baby. You'll still have to go through with the labor and it might be earlier now since the baby is already dead. You'll have to eat although you might vomit, but you must try. Go for walks and keep your strength up. It's the only way you'll live through this." I frowned as I felt hot tears in my eyes.

"Thank you for your time." She smiled sadly and rests a hand on my shoulder.

"I wish it could have been better news. I really do." She then took her leave and I leaned into my long time friend and let the tears fall steadily. Liz tried her best to help me through. We left the office, both Will and Elizabeth took me back to the Pearl.
